New Website In The Making!

Thankful Thursday Letters

Dear Slightly Cooler Weather, can you get here just a bit faster? However, I am thankful you are slowly making a presence. Dear Friends From Home, Can't wait to see you all for two short days! Dear Paleo Lifestyle Challenge, Sometimes I hate you because you are forcing me to learn how to cook, while other times I am thankful you are making me eat healthier and, well, teaching me to cook. Dear Future Project, I can't wait to start building you from scratch, just thinking about it makes me smile! Dear Baby Elise, I miss holding you and can't believe how big you are getting. Grow slow. Dear Life, Sometimes things happen that make me realize this place is temporary and fleeting. Thanks for reminding me that life is precious, to enjoy each moment, be gracious always, and love without ceasing.

I love love this post I just read over at Aspiring Kennedy about being grateful for the small things....I think you will too.

Today I'm thankful for my Barbour which keeps me warm while the wind is blowing. And I'm so so thankful for fall. It's my favorite season, hands down!

Since when are you following the paleo life style? Is it only temporary or a complete change of life style? I'm not sure if you have blogged about it already but I would love to hear/read more about it. Obviously only if you are comfortable sharing it with the world :-)

I'm thankful that fall is here, and that cooler weather is on its way in the next few days. I'm thankful that my puppy seems to be growing into a more well-behaved doggie just in time. I'm thankful for my job that allows me a good amount of downtime now that I need it more than ever. I'm thankful that I am in good hands with my family, friends, and doctors as my due date quickly approaches! And...I'm thankful to get to meet my sweet little baby girl so soon! Love you, Sheila & miss you tons! xo

I am seriously in love with this post... and with your blog in general! It's so cute! I'm your newest follower through the GFC Blog Hop, and I'm so excited about it... I can already tell that I'm going to love reading what you write!

Kristina!!!! So happy you are enjoying fall, it is a beautiful season :) I always look for your comment at the top:) I will write a post about it for you, no problem! I just started and it is challenging but it has good results. Not really a diet - but more of a challenge for me to become a healthier more natural eater :) xo always

Tara, T-mom - Thanks so much for posting and I miss you and bump a lot! I love your thankful list. I am just reading now how gratitude brings joy - I used to say it, but truly learning about the connection now! Moral of the story - it sounds like life is going so well for you and everything falling into place! Miss you very much! xo

Sheila, it's easy for me to be the first one to comment since I'm 6 hours ahead of you ;-) I'm looking forward to your post about your experiences with the paleo diet. I'm thinking about doing the Whole30 but I'm a little afraid of the consequences. And I don't know if I'll find enough things to eat that I like :D Maybe your experiences will help me decide. Thanks for always commenting back on my comments. I know it would be easier for you if I could just figure out how to comment via GFC. So sorry for my inability to do that :(

Haha, that is a good thing and why I post my posts at 4AM :) I would say if you are looking for a healthy eating lifestyle change, and not a diet - trying just going natural. Or the 30 for 30. I have cheated a lot with Paleo, but keep getting up and trying again!
